Something for everyone

OLDER ADULTS

Growing older is just mind over matter; if you don't mind, it doesn't matter! Our Mission Scripture & Logo for this ministry is taken from Isaiah 60:1- "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you." What a great promise that holds for us as Christians, young & old alike!
